To-day John Arensdorf, defendant, took

was after ten when we left there.
Barnes went west and I went
to the Chisago saloon and then to
Junk's saloon. Scollard and Grady we're
there when l arrived. Went next to the
English Kitchen, and heard there that
man was killed. Went to the place OF the
murder, remained few minutes, then
went to the brewery, and returned to
Junkis, where I remained ten or fifteen
minutes, then went home. I wore my
usual clothing, blue suit and tail coat.
Did not have on a rubber coat. Have
heard the testimony of Leavitt: was met
Haddock was killed. was at the meeting
on the second of August. There was
no private meeting to my knowl-
edge. Nothing was said in my
presence about doing up anyone. The wit
ness then made detailed denial of the
meeting and language attributed to him in
the testimony of Mr.. and Mrs. Leavitt.
He had conversed with Leavitt at the lat
ter's theater. but had not discussed the
killing of Haddock. The witness knew
Bismarck and his wife. but denied the
truth OF the important nart Of their testi.
mony relating to the cri1s.v. He knew Of no
conspiracy to injure anyone.
CROSS EXAMINED
by the State, the witness testimony was
characterized by a sweeping denial Of all
the damaging testimony relating to him by
the other witnesses. He saw Treiber at
Junkis on the night of the murder, but did
not remember seeing Muncrath. Did not
see Henry Peters at Jupkis; saw him several
weeks after the murder, but knew nothing
about where he went; denied receiving let
ter from Treiber; bad talked with
Mrs. Treiber about her husband
but had written latter no letter. Witness
met Mrs. Bismarck on the business matter
referred to in her testimony, but had never
told the sheriff or any other officer that
the wife of the suspected man had gone
away. Did not think it any of his busi-
ness. Did not know what he testified to
before the coroners jury, and thought his
recollection then not as good as now.
